Williams is a mid-tall, high yielding oat adapted to Western Australia. It flowers slightly earlier than Carrolup and about a week to 10 days earlier than Kojonup. Williams is moderately resistant to stem rust and resistant to leaf rust in WA. It also has improved septoria resistance compared to Carrolup and Wandering. Williams is a potential milling variety. Hectolitre weight is similar to Kojonup and slightly lower than Carrolup. Screenings are similar to Carrolup and groat percent slightly lower than Carrolup and Mitika.

Williams should be treated in a similar way to other milling and feed oats except where reference has been made to specific issues in this brochure. Annual rainfall - suitable for low (350mm) to medium (800mm) annual rainfall areas. Areas of adaptation – Williams has performed well in all rainfall locations where cereal cyst nematode and stem nematode are not a problem. It is a potential milling variety and can be used as feed oats in all WA AgZones. Williams has consistent high yields and improved stem and leaf rust resistance.
